ABSTRACT: The uptake of gaseous iodine into the crystalline sponge material [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2]·0.7triphenylene·0.3PhNO2·0.7C6H12 1 (tpt = 2,4,6tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine) has been monitored by dynamic X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The X-ray analyses have enabled the location, quantity, uptake rate, and subsequent chemistry of the iodine upon inclusion into the pores to be determined. An uptake of 6.0 wt % (0.43 I2 per formula unit) was observed crystallographically over a period of 90 min before crystal degradation occurred. The included iodine molecules interact with the iodine atoms of the ZnI2 nodes at three different sites, forming coordinated I3− ions. The results contrast to recent observations on [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2] without the triphenylene guests which show the presence of I42− ions with low quantities of absorbed iodine.

reactive intermediates18 and difficult to crystallize organic molecules,19 allowing structural characterization of molecules that are not amenable to traditional crystallographic techniques. When reaction intermediates and/or products are structurally characterized within the pores, the materials are often referred to as crystalline molecular flasks (CMFs).20,21 The most well-known crystalline sponges are formed from the linking together of ZnI2 nodes with 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)1,3,5-triazine (tpt) ligands. The compound [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2], assembled from the reaction of ZnI2 with tpt, forms a doubly interpenetrated (10,3)-b network containing one-dimensional channels.22 However, when the reaction between ZnI2 and tpt takes place in the presence of triphenylene, a different network is formed. The included triphenylene molecules interact through π···π interactions with the tpt linkers forming columns, and the resultant network, [(ZnI 2)3(tpt)2]·triphenylene, contains two types of channels.23 Networks based on ZnI2 nodes and tpt linkers have previously shown an affinity for iodine inclusion, resulting in either chemical reaction24 or structural changes.25 In light of the dynamic nature of crystalline sponges in the presence of gaseous iodine24,25 and the importance of understanding iodine uptake,1 the [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2]−triphenylene system23 was targeted for investigation by dynamic X-ray crystallography. Our objective was to establish (i) the kinetics

INTRODUCTION The capture and immobilization of radioactive iodine1 is highly topical given the unplanned release of radioactive material from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011.2 Concern surrounding the beta-emitting isotopes 129I and 131I stems largely from the volatility of iodine, coupled with its ability to impact upon human metabolic processes.3 Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of materials for the sequestration of iodine, including its radioactive isotopes, owing to their high porosity, tunable pore dimensions, and affinity for a wide range of guests.4−6 This has been borne out in a number of MOF systems, including MIL-type aluminum scaffolds,7 zinc paddlewheels,8 zirconium UiO-66 derivatives,9 and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.10 These studies, combined with in silico insights,11 have identified iodine as having an affinity for metal sites and nucleophilic functional groups. Composite materials containing MOFs have been proposed for the sequestration of iodine,12 as have related materials such as covalent organic frameworks13 and other porous organic frameworks.14 Interest in iodine inclusion is not limited to its radioactive isotopes, and adsorption of iodine can also be used to partially oxidize framework materials and hence introduce electronic conduction.15,16 Crystalline sponges are a subset of MOFs that have been tailored to enhance crystallographic investigations by providing a cavity capable of ordering guest molecules.17 This ordering is driven by the inherent flexibility of the framework, and crystalline sponges have been shown to be effective hosts for © XXXX American Chemical Society

exposure (vide inf ra) and also loss of the included nitrobenzene and cyclohexane concurrent with I2. This was gauged to be the maximum uptake for this system (Table S2 and Figure S4). Having demonstrated that 1 was capable of iodine uptake over a period of hours, we sought to visualize this process using dynamic single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Given the dispersive nature of released vapors, understanding the behavior of the framework toward volatile iodine over short time scales is crucial for gas absorption applications. These experiments were carried out on the single crystal beamline facility, I19, at the Diamond Light Source. A single crystal of 1 was mounted in a 1 mm glass capillary, in a static gas cell28 together with several iodine crystals, with 1 and the iodine being separated by a cotton wool plug (Figure S1). The temperature of the capillary was maintained at 290 K, with a stream of gaseous nitrogen, and the iodine allowed to diffuse within the closed capillary. X-ray data sets, each taking approximately 20 min to record, were measured sequentially from the point at which the gas cell was mounted on the diffractometer. In total, six data sets were measured with a total X-ray exposure time of 96 min. Over this period, the unit cell volume increased by 3.9%, from 18204(1) to 18922(5) Å3. For each data set the structure was refined using the structural model obtained from the 290 K data obtained before the absorption of iodine into the crystal (Figure 1). In all data sets, the atoms of the framework and the triphenylene molecule were refined anisotropically. Refinement of the initial data set suggested that triphenylene was present with only 70% occupancy, and in this and all subsequent data

The results of these investigations are reported herein. While this work was being carried out, Woo, Murugesu, and co-workers 26 reported the uptake of iodine into [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2], so we also compare our findings in the related triphenylene-containing framework to their results.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Crystals of triphenylene-loaded [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2] were prepared following the previously reported procedure27 and were suspended in cyclohexane to facilitate solvent exchange. The crystal structure at 290 K demonstrated the presence of both nitrobenzene and cyclohexane solvent molecules in the lattice and the refinement suggested the occupancy of triphenylene was 70% (vide inf ra), giving a formula for 1 of [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2]· 0.7triphenylene·0.3PhNO2·0.7C6H12. A preliminary test for uptake of gaseous iodine vapor was carried out by monitoring single crystals of 1 in the presence of solid iodine with optical microscopy. The initially yellow single crystals darkened to brown over a 10 min period, with the color change migrating from the crystal edges inward (Figure S3). A sample of 1 was then placed under an atmosphere of iodine vapor for 2 days. The color of the powder changed from yellow to black during this time, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed a mass loss of 38.4% when the sample was heated to 200 °C, equivalent to 3.9 molecules of I2 per formula unit, assuming the same composition as observed in the crystal structure prior to I2 B

Inorganic Chemistry sets the occupancy was fixed at this level. There is precedence in other structural analyses of [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2]-triphenylene compounds for triphenylene occupancy of less than 100%.27 To facilitate comparison throughout the series, the same set of constraints and restraints were applied to the solvent atoms; these were subject to an isotropic refinement, with site occupancies fixed to a constant value and isotropic displacement parameters allowed to refine freely. From the X-ray structural analysis, it was clear that iodine was being absorbed into the crystal lattice from the initial measurements, and the percentage absorption increased with time until 96 min, at which point the quality of the diffraction data was such that it could no longer be relied upon. An analysis of the electron density within the crystal lattice using PLATON SQUEEZE29 showed an increase in residual electron density with time, as presented in Table 1. In this approach the structure for the

the other ZnI2 iodine atoms, I(3), I(4), and I(6), no evidence was observed for inclusion into these sites. Analysis of the structures reveals that such adsorption would be sterically hindered by the presence of framework tpt ligands and/or included nitrobenzene molecules. The framework of 1 contains two different channels (Figure 1).23 The larger channels (A) are approximately cylindrical and surrounded by hydrogen atoms of the stacked tpt and triphenylene units, while the narrower channels (B) have three walls and are approximately trigonal prismatic. In channel A, the nitrobenzene and cyclohexane guests are severely disordered while channel B is filled with more ordered cyclohexane molecules. All three sites for iodine inclusion are located in channel A (Figure 2b). Further information on the iodine absorption process can be gained by monitoring the rate at which each site in the structure absorbs I2 molecules. An indication of this is given by the refined site occupancies of the I atoms at the various positions as measured in the six sequential data sets recorded over 90 min. These results are shown in Figure 3. This shows a significant level of I2 absorption at t = 0 (the start time for the first data collection), which results from the unavoidable, approximately 5 min time delay between sealing the crystal of 1 and iodine in the capillary before mounting it on the diffractometer. Therefore, all three of the located iodine sites start with an occupancy level of 4−7%. All these levels rise with time with the biggest increase occurring between 6 and 45 min. After this, the site occupancies of I_occ1 and I_occ3 continue to rise at a slower rate but in parallel. The site occupancy for I_occ2 rises slightly but levels out at 7% by t = 90 min. There is competition between sites I_occ2 and I_occ3 as they reside in the same region of the lattice, so full occupancy of both is not possible for steric reasons and their behavior suggests that I_occ3 takes precedence. The overall uptake of I2 observed in the dynamic crystallography experiment is 0.43 equiv per formula unit, which corresponds to 6.0 wt %. In a subsequent set of experiments, a fresh crystal of 1 and several iodine crystals were mounted as before, and the data collections were repeated at 280 K. The results were generally similar to those at 290 K and are presented in the Supporting Information (page S11). The main difference was that the rate of absorption for all three sites was notably slower at 280 K, reaching occupancies of 9% for I_occ1, 3% for I_occ2, and 9% for I_occ3 after 185 min. While it is known that the absorption of I2 into a porous material can instigate chemical reactions,24 this is only the second time to our knowledge that chemisorption of gaseous I2 to form coordinated I3− has been visualized and monitored within a porous solid-state framework. Very recently, Woo, Murugesu, and co-workers26 reported the uptake of iodine into [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2] in the absence of the triphenylene guests. They observed initial incorporation of I2 at sites bridging between two coordinated iodides, giving rise to I42− ions. As greater quantities of iodine were absorbed, these I42− bridges were replaced by terminal I3− ions, similar to those observed for 1, and this change in coordination mode allows for greater capacity. The overall uptake of I2 observed crystallographically in [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2] is considerably higher than in 1, consistent with the larger pores present. The nonobservation of I42− ions in 1 following exposure to I2 is likely to relate to the relative positions and orientations of the ZnI2 units in the structure. In I2-loaded [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2], the distance between the zinc-bound iodine atoms that are bridged by I2 to form I42− is 9.44 Å.

The solvent accessible volume was calculated using the SQUEEZE algorithm, implemented in PLATON.29 bThe number of residual electrons was calculated using SQUEEZE, the calculations were performed on a model containing only the host cage framework and the triphenylene guest. The number of residual electrons calculated by SQUEEZE is a measure of all the PhNO2, cyclohexane, and iodine present in the lattice at the six time points, though only the electron density corresponding to 0.3 PhNO2, 0.7C6H12, and the increasing amount of coordinated I2 is modeled in the six structural analyses. There is additional poorly resolved solvent present in the crystals that cannot be modeled other than by SQUEEZE. The key point to note is that the solvent accessible volume and the residual electron density are increasing with time as iodine is absorbed by the crystal.

[(ZnI2)3(tpt)2]−triphenylene unit, without solvent, was used as the model structure and the residual electron density for each of the six data sets was calculated against this model, accounting for the presence of the included nitrobenzene and cyclohexane solvent molecules and the increasing percentage of iodine. Carrying out sequential crystal structure determinations during I2 uptake enabled the rate of inclusion and location of the incoming iodine molecules to be determined. The structure of 1 with the absorbed I2 after 90 min (data set 6) is shown in Figure 2. I2 occupies three different sites within the lattice but, in all cases, it links to an iodine atom of one of the “ZnI2” nodes to form coordinated, linear I3− ligands. There are three sites of I2 occupation: in the final data set, I_occ1 has 16% occupancy and forms a I3− ligand with the Zn-coordinated atom I(5) (I(5)−I(7) 3.055(9), I(7)−I(8) 2.834(12) Å), I_occ2 has a 7% occupancy and forms a I3− ligand with I(1) (I(1)−I(9) 3.018(10), I(9)−I(10) 2.815(19) Å), and I_occ3 has 20% occupancy and forms a I3− ligand with I(2) (I(2)−I(11) 3.324(11), I(11)−I(12) 2.814(14) Å), though with a notably longer I−···I2 contact than observed for I_occ1 and I_occ2.

Hydrogen atoms have been omitted for clarity. The absorbed iodine atoms were refined with partial occupancy as described in the text.

While the interactions of [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2] and 1 with iodine are the only examples to date of absorption of iodine with concurrent conversion to I3−, previous papers have reported the direct uptake of triiodide from solution into a framework,31,32 solvent triggered formation of triiodide from iodine within a framework,33 and noninnocent redox processes triggered by iodine in a Fe2+ framework.34 A key advantage of the interaction described in this work is that the solution phase is bypassed in favor of harnessing reactivity at the gas/solid interface, which is desirable for materials and applications that target radioactive iodine vapor absorption. Generally, the rate of iodine uptake for powdered 1 is slower than that in the single-crystal experiments. The dominant factor appears to be the accessibility of the material to iodine vapor. For the single-crystal experiment, the entire surface of the crystal was exposed to iodine vapor using MiTeGen MicroGripper crystallographic loops when mounting. In contrast, only the crystallites located at the surface of the bulk powder of 1 were observed to darken quickly upon exposure to iodine, signaling rapid uptake. Crystallites located beneath this surface layer were largely insulated from the iodine vapor. Upon each sampling, the bulk powder was homogenized with stirring; however, this insulating behavior persisted throughout the experiment. Despite the slower kinetics, powdered 1 has a substantially higher uptake of I2 than observed in the single crystal X-ray experiments prior to loss of single crystallinity. A powder

Inspection of the structure of 1 reveals that there are no I···I distances between 9 and 10 Å in which the orientation of the ZnI2 units could facilitate I2 bridges. Similar I42− ions were observed by Liao, Zheng, and co-workers in a MOF containing Cu4I4 nodes and isonicotinate ions, though no evidence of I3− ions was reported in this case.30 D

Inorganic Chemistry sample of 1 was exposed to the normal vapor pressure of solid iodine at 23 °C (3.43 × 10−3 atm),35 and the uptake of iodine was monitored by thermogravimetric analysis hourly for 7 h (Figure 4). To identify the volatile components, continuous

occupies three distinct positions, with significantly different occupancy levels that can be related to the cavity space available within the crystal. In each case chemical reactions occurred and the I2 molecule has formed a bond to an iodine atom present in the ZnI2 unit to form a linear triiodide ligand. These interactions indicate that iodine vapor can be removed from the atmosphere and held in solid state materials through covalent bond formation. Iodine inclusion in organic systems is often assumed to take place near to aromatic systems and accompanied by charge transfer,14,36 so direct crystallographic evidence for interaction with ZnI2 rather than the rings of the tpt ligands is significant. While single crystals of 1 only adsorb 6.0 wt % before loss of single crystallinity, powdered samples of 1 are capable of adsorbing considerably more I2. From the stoichiometry, it is evident that some of this additional iodine must be included into different sites from those identified in the single crystal experiments, though these X-ray analyses have clearly demonstrated the initial sites of attachment. These results complement those for the recently published [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2] system,24 particularly in understanding the initial iodine uptake behavior (t < 90 min) of crystalline sponges. This work also shows that iodine can be sequestered directly as the triiodide form without first forming I42−.

Figure 4. Increasing wt % of the volatile component within 1 upon exposure to iodine vapor as measured by thermogravimetric analysis. The solid black trend-line (R2 = 0.9952) shows a linear relationship up to t = 6 h and possibly beyond.

sampling by mass spectrometry was performed during this experiment (see the Supporting Information). Prior to iodine exposure (t = 0 h), a mass loss of 7.8% was recorded on heating to 200 °C. This corresponds to loss of included nitrobenzene and cyclohexane from the pores, with the mass loss suggesting a greater amount of included solvent present than observed in the single crystal X-ray structures, itself consistent with some solvent loss prior to the single crystal study, though no loss of solvent was observed during the single crystal experiments. Once iodine exposure had started, iterative sampling identified a linear increase of approximately 4% by mass of volatile components per hour. This was continued for 7 h, after which time the volatile component of 1 was 32.0% by mass. This corresponds to between 2.6 and 3.2 molecules of iodine per formula unit under these conditions, depending on whether the nitrobenzene and cyclohexane molecules were displaced by iodine during its uptake and prior to the TGA (i.e., 32.0% mass loss corresponds to I2) or were retained in the lattice and lost during the TGA along with the iodine (i.e., 32.0−7.8% mass loss corresponds to I2). We have assumed throughout that triphenylene is not lost through either sublimation or displacement by I2. Its low volatility (melting point 198 °C, boiling point 438 °C), coupled with its key structural role makes such loss highly unlikely, with no PXRD evidence for the structural change such displacement would lead to. Over the time scale of the PXRD analyses, the I2 uptake of 1 is almost identical to that of the more porous triphenylene-free framework [(ZnI2)3(tpt)2].24 These bulk powder results show that 1 is amenable to both scale-up and application beyond the single-crystalline form, both of which are beneficial to device fabrication and practical applications.
